Topic: DC44 Problem (Read 484 times)

Hi everyone, hope you are well and enjoying the prolonged sunny weather here in the UK.I have been given a DC44 to look at. The problem is the Motorhead unit stops working when you turn it certain ways (brushbar stops turning). This suggests a loose connection or broken wire to the motor.

I have taken it apart as far as I can and the wires are connected to the motor ok. Turning it over and looking where you can see into the ball type area I can see a black and a white wire which obviously feeds power to the motor.

Do these suffer the same problem with the broken wire problem that the DC40 Ball Models do, although on a smaller scale?

Has anyone else come across this problem on a DC44 Motorhead and have you managed to find and fix the problem?
